How would someone connect their MLAB mongodb database to robomongo when MLAB only provides string URI's
I have been a mongochef user for a while, and setting up URI connections with mongochef is super easy. However this is not the case with robomongo.
How would someone connect their MLAB mongodb database to robobongo when MLAB uses string URI's to connect users to their databases?
in the configuration setup for robomongo it looks like it favors ip addresses and ports as the connection method and does not provide a URI format
Answer
lets say you have following uri
mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds111111.mlab.com:55191/<dbName>
where dbuser and dbpassword are users for the database.
In robomongo, in the Connection tab enter following in the Address box:
ds111111.mlab.com
and for the port box
55191
Go to the Authentication tab. Click on 'Perform authentication'. Enter database name, username, and password . Let the auth mechanism be SCRAM-SHA-1
